Suppose You Try This Game.

An exchange says that new game has been originated, called "Editor's Delight" the plan of which it is played being in this wise: Take sheet of ordinary writing paper, write on it your name and postoflice address, fold it up carefully and enclose a bank note sufficiently large to pay all arrears and a year in advance, send or hand this to the editor. What adds immensely to the pleasure of the game is, send along the name of subscriber or two accompa- med by the cash. Keep your eyes on the editor, and if a smile adorns his face you have won the game.

 In an address at the Exposition grounds at Little Rock a few days since, Gov. Hughes made the fol- lowing remarks in response to the toast drank to the State of Arkan- sas:

The rule recently enforced by the post office department, sub jecting packages of fourth.c class matter to letter postage where the outside wrappers contain any writ ing or printing except the name and address of the sender, is in ac- cordance to an act of congress pass. ed in 1879, and the postmaster general is powerless to revoke 1t, although he expresses the opinion that there is little reason in pro hibiting the printing on the exte. rior of package anything that can lawfully be placed on the in side and he promises to invite at tention to the matter in hls next annual report.-Hot Springs Sen tinel,

An editor has invented an infer nal machine which he places in an envelope and sends it to those that refuse" the paper after taking it five years without paying for it. The machinery explodes and kills the whole family and the frag- ments that fall in the yard kill the dog Glory certainly awaits that editor, and when he gets in the sanctum that awaits him above, he will have an upholstered chair and be allowed to sit with his feet on the table.-EX.

How to Kill any Town.

Oppose improvements.
 Sheer at it's newspapers. Run 1t down to strangers.
 Go to other towns to trade.
 Do not invest a cent; lay your money out somewhere else.
 Lengthen your face when a stranger talks of locating in it.
 If a man wants to buy property charge him two prlceS.
 If he wants to buy anybody else's interfere and discourage him.
 Be particular to discredit the motives of public spirited citi- Zens.
 Refuse to see the least merit in any scheme that does not directly benefit you.
 Do your best to divide the town in factions and keep one faction fighting another.
 If you can't "hOg' everything, udge everybody else by yourself and accuse them of doing it.
 If you want to read the local journal borrow it of a neighbOr, and after you have finished ask him. what he wants to take such a measly sheet for.
 Run down other parts of the town than your own, and talk dis paragingly of all the surrounding country, except such tracts as you are personally interested in.
 Be careful in following these rules, a good healthy "kicker," grOwler and obstructiOnist can do wonders toward keeping desirable people out of town, and disgusting public spirited ones in it so that they will have to get away.
 Should you happen to patronize a local journal, let the editor know you do it to help him along; never acknowledge to yOurse If nor to anybody else that prosperous town was ever built up nor never will without the aid of local news paper.-Ex.

If Hot Springs wants a band an attempt should be made to secure the members of the Camden band mentioned by the Sentinel. The leader and teacher, Dwight Blake, belongs to one of Arkansas best families, his father being leading man in the southwestern portion of the State. AS q musician young Blake is a veritable prodigy. At the age of 10 he was a very good performer on the cornet. At the age of 12 the writer has seen him leading large and well-trained band. He is about ' now, and as a cornetist has no superiors in the State. He is a musician because it is in him, and will out. His father is very wealthy, and young Dwight does.not have to follow it for a live hhood.--Cor Hot Springs Sentinel.
